AlgPoW Conversation Notes
The Institute AlgPoW working group (Danielle, Shirley, Jo, Dave, Matt & Shelly) revised a previous categorization scheme to create the following top level topics:
- Linear functions
- Coordinate plane
- Interpreting graphs
- Inequalties
- System of equations/inequalities
- Higher polynomials (greater than second degree)
- Matrices
- Quadratic functions
- Exponential/Logarithmic functions
- Geometric applications
- Patterns/logic
The following searchwords were identified:
- intercept
- slope
- coordinate plane
- domain/range
- absolute value
- Pythagorean Theorem
- distance
- linear programming
- rational expression
- factoring
- radical
- conic sections
- direct/inverse variation
Other notes:
- order of operations, algebraic expressions, scientific notation, and integers should be covered in MidPoW
- rational expressions should be a major topic in Trig/Calc
- exponential functions and logarithmic functions should be separated for Trig/Calc
